Ok so I've been paintballing about 3 times, however I've only gone once a year so that's how the 3 times add up. The first time I went I was hooked really quickly. I would like to go more times like maybe going at least once a month but me and my friends always get into that "we should do this more often" train of thought but it never pulls through till a year later. Plus with the part time job I have now, I can pay to go but I would have to watch my spendings afterwards. I don't have a problem with the rented equipment even though one time the gun acted up on me and just started shooting air out like an automatic and the paintballs don't get a good amount of range sometimes. Anyways I know what gun I want to get, the tippman a-5 since its only about $180 and what I've read and researched, it's a great gun. But I don't know if it's worth buying one considering that i might not go as much as I want or even close to that. So should I buy it or wait until I really really start going way more often?
